BMP6002 Drivers and challenges of globalization Level 7

Task 1

P.1Evaluate key factors of cost, market, environment and competition that increases commerce

There are different factors through which they can affect globalization.  Through these factors company can change their policies and can create effective strategies so that they can run their operations smoothly and hence they can work in a proper and effective manner. Factors that can increase commerce and trade evaluated by Sollatek are-

Economy: Sollatek has to evaluate  different factors such as cost of goods and services. Through this they can set right price for their products that such  as  electrical equipments such as bulbs and valves. Through this they can increase their imports and exports.  As if they have set appropriate price for consumers and for international goods it directly leads to increasing sales of company. Hence as a result they can enhance their profits.

Resources and market: Company also evaluate different resources such as filaments, glass bulbs, electricity, oil so that they can generate in different bulbs. Through this they can easily generate electricity. Hence as a result they have to acquire these resources so that they can easily manufacture these goods. Through this they can increase their exports by creating good quality of bulbs and valves. Hence as a result they can generate more revenues.

PESTEL analysis: It includes different factors. They are

Political: It includes that tax rates are increased by Govt in these materials. So company has to carefully consider these factors so that if there are higher tax rates then it can create policies and plans to use these resources in optimum manner. If they had not evaluated this factor then it can reduce their sales. Hence as a result they can increase their sales by evaluating these factors and through important utilization of these resources (Driver and Martell, 2002).

Economic: It has to evaluate this factor very carefully. For example if there is less interest rates in the goods such as bulbs and tubes it is a favorable factor for company. Through this they can imports many goods and can produce different goods to export various goods. Through this they can increase their sales and can enhance their revenues (Sovacool and Bulan, 2012).

For example if they are working in Australia they have knowledge of language and culture of Australia.

  6 Various routes to internationalization and key barriers

There are different routes through which country can enter into international countries. Sollatek uses 5 routes to internationalize it:

• Diagnosis: Company can evaluate different factors of it want to do operation in international countries. So hence as a result they can evaluate different internal resources such as projects, resources and experience and different language. They can also evaluate external factors such as competitors, culture and language of that country in which company wants to expand itself. They can also evaluate different external factors.

Barriers

Different barriers to internationalize in various countries faced by Sollatek are:

Financial barrier: Sollatek is a small scale firm so hence it cannot have some money to invest in activities and operations in international country. So as a result they cannot increase their operations and hence they cannot expand their tasks in easy and efficient manner. Through this they cannot increase the satisfaction level of all users. Thus it leads to reducing the sales and revenues of firm.

Managerial barriers: There is a management barrier which includes lack of knowledge related to different activities and hence they cannot sell products in an effective manner in international countries. Through this it can reduce sales and profits of firm. Hence they cannot maintain good image in minds of all customers and in market.

Industry specific barrier: Sometimes govt puts barrier on products which are related to industry which wants to perform operations in international countries. For example Sollatek is a bulb producing industry. So there is ban of use of bulbs in certain areas due to some issues. Then company cannot internalize in those regions where there is ban and thus it can reduce the sales and revenues of firm.

Firm related barriers: Sollatek is a small firm which consists of different factors such as lack of training, and lack of research. Hence they cannot properly train all employees and staff members as they do not have advanced training tools and equipment’s. They do not have funds to effective research for various methods and techniques (Furlong,  2013).
